Chapter 106
Chapter 106:
A while later, Beatrix arrived with the result. She said hello to the kids before leaving, because Jaris asked her to go.
I stood alone at the dining table with him as he opened the envelope. For the first time, I saw Jaris Dreadmoor nervous.
He took out the result, and I watched as his eyes moved over the paper.
For a long moment, he was quiet, his eyes still on the page.
“Wh-what does it say?” I couldn’t believe my voice was almost shaking.
His jaw clenched as he folded the paper and slid it back into the envelope. “Get the kids. We’re going to the Pack.” His voice was like ice as he spoke—and then he walked away.
Jaris wouldn’t say a word the entire ride home. But he looked pissed. Very pissed.
Did that mean the result wasn’t good? Were the kids not his?
When we reached the Pack, he asked for Jace and Marta. But while Jace was in, Marta wasn’t. He called her and ordered her to get to the Pack House immediately.
“What’s going on?” Jace asked when we were alone on the balcony.
“I don’t know. The results are out, and he’s been acting all weird p>
My mind went to the kids, who were already in their room. Was this the point where their lives went bad? Gods. What would Jaris do about them not being his?
After waiting for a long time, Marta did come. We all met in Jaris’s office. Luna Isolde, Kael, Nerion, and some other guards were there as well. Marta looked so scared.
Jaris, seated in front of his table, had his hands clasped together. It took him some time before he spoke.
“The results are out p>
The tension in the room rose.
He stood up, his eyes pinned on Marta as he walked toward her.

A small whimper left her lips as she took a step back. She was nearly shaking.
“Jaris, please p>
Jaris stopped in front of her, tucking his hands in his pockets. “I’m sorry, Marta. For doubting you p>
Time froze in place. Confusion filled everyone’s faces.
“You were right. I never should’ve listened to him.” He looked at Jace.
Okay. What was going on? What was the result?
“Jaris, talk to me. What is the result?” Luna Isolde demanded impatiently.
“The kids are mine.” Jaris kept his heated gaze on Jace. “The result was positive p>
I didn’t miss the shock and confusion that covered Marta’s face. Jace’s mouth dropped open in shock. My heart flipped in relief, surprise, and fear. I was scared for Jace as much as I was confused. Did he lie about the whole thing?
In a split second, Jaris was on Jace, punching him in the face. I ran to them immediately, holding Jace back from retaliating in any way.
